Learn to make your own unique temporary tattoos with this inspirational book from the owner of tattoo company Pepper Ink.

Spotted on the biceps of Paris catwalk models and style maven Beyoncé, temporary tattoos are being embraced by fashionistas and design enthusiasts as a great way to adapt their personal street style. The transient nature of the tattoos and their contemporary aesthetic mean that wearers can be that little bit quirkier with their designs. This book equips you with all the knowledge you need to design and create your very own temporary tattoos at home.

Add personal touches such as meaningful dates and the names of loved ones to create your unique one-off designs. Safe and sensitive to wear, the transfer paper creates a barrier between the design and your skin so that it only lasts as long as you want it to. Trial a design for a permanent tattoo, create a special look for a night out, design unique wedding favours or incentivize your children to tidy their rooms with a reward scheme - the sky's the limit!

Comprehensive practical information explains how to draw your patterns or adapt found designs, and how to print and apply your creation. Also included are inspirational galleries with information on tattoo meanings, as well as delicate illustrations which you can trace and adapt straight from the page, or download online. Covering a range of popular designs, including animals, flowers, nautical and vintage, you are sure to find something to tickle your skin!

Chloe Fox

Authors:

Chloe Fox

Ninety years after Vogue dubbed Coco Chanel's simple short black 'Ford' dress 'the frock that all the world will wear', the perfect Little Black Dress continues to be every woman's most sought after fashion essential. At its classic best, the LBD doesn't just make its wearer look beautiful and stylish; it empowers her too. Dress it up, pare it down, wear it forever - the Little Black Dress is a fashion essential. From the bold, dramatic designs of Zandra Rhodes to the eye-catching LBDs by Vivienne Westwood, from Elizabeth Hurley's iconic safety pin Versace number to the tight off-the-shoulder Christina Stambolian dress worn by Princess Diana, Vogue Essentials: Little Black Dress celebrates the very best of the LBD.'One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress'Karl Lagerfeld

Vogue Essentials: Handbags

Carolyn Asome

Authors:

Carolyn Asome

Since its inception more than a century ago, Vogue has been fascinated by the infinite incarnations of the handbag. From the myriad surrealist creations of Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel to Prada's democratic nylon backpack, from the exclusive Hermés Birkin bag to individual vintage gems, the handbag is fashion's most inventive accessory. No shock, then, that the handbag market today is worth more than a hundred billion dollars. From each season's must-have to five-figure rarities, the handbag symbolizes the inexplicable power of fashion desire. Vogue Essentials: Handbags explores all the greatest hits in a collection that any fashion devotee will covet.'Any woman can wear shoes and handbags: it's not a question of how tall you are, how skinny you are, how blonde or blue-eyed or tanned or whatever.' Marc Jacobs
